Higher fronts on cars significantly increase the death rate when pedestrians and cyclists are struck, says new report. EuroNCAP says more complex than that.
I say, when the vehicle starts, the surrounding cameras should automatically start up and show the driver what’s closest to the vehicle. Just like how they start automatically when engaging the reversing gear. That way it’s a quick look to see if there are any small obstacles.
Ah yes, further encourage the development of literal orphan crushing machines. Chasing the root of the problem would require regulation causing companies to take a hit to the bottom line; we can’t have that! We have shareholders!
There are going to be large vehicles, no stopping that. So I think this is a good suggestion. But I agree with your sentiment. 😞
Before I take off with my small SUV (Volvo EX40), I turn on the cameras just to make sure there’s nothing in the car’s immediate vicinity. If I reverse out, it does it automatically.
Well, I think we have different reference frames, perhaps. When I say small SUV, is probably half the size of an American normal SUV. Cars in America are humongous. Cars in Europe are quite a bit smaller on average. I agree the cars in America are over the top, and dangerous. 👍
But up to a certain size, the SUV is sometimes the best choice for a family’s situation, and demand for a product is going to be hard to stop.

Why is there no stopping? Of course we can stop it with regulations and laws.
Trucks also have a fixed length and height, so why not cars?
